I was curious as to what everyone here eats after lifting. If anyone cares to post example post-training meals, it would be appreciated.
Post and compare post-workout recovery meals here!

I usually have 100 grams of carbs and 50 grams of protein. The carbs come from dextrose powder mixed with no more than 8 oz of grape juice, usually 4-6. I mix the grape juice and dextrose with optimum 100% whey 2-3 scoops of it.

I am pretty old school when it comes to diet. I dont use supplements. If I cant buy it in the grocery store or from a source online I dont waste my time. Anyway, here is my post-wokout "meal"
18 oz. apple juice
12 egg whites
1 1/12 cups of oats
1 bananna
Toss it in a blender and drink it down. Sounds pretty barbaric, but I have been using it for 3 years along with the rest of my diet and it has always worked very well. And it really does taste a lot better than it sounds.

How have your results been doing that? I'm asking because most people don't use high fructose juices and low gi foods during their postworkout meal.

Actually my results have been very good. A few years ago I was on the keto diet and got no muscle gain results so I went through every protein powder, carb drink, and MRP on the market looking for something that worked. Nothing ever did so I decided to use my brain a little. I figured since you need simple carbs after a workout so your muscles get refueled and complex carbs for your regular meals to keep your insulin levels from spiking all day, there was no reason to not combine them. I also have noticed that the suagrs get into my system pretty quick but the oats keep my insulin level from spiking so high. Now I can take my insulin after my workout and dont have to worry about timing my carbs and insulin perfectly so I dont go into shock. It doesnt matter when my insulin hits because I have simple and complex carbs ready to work with it.
I personnally take 1 Gatorade on my way back home, then mix 35g of whey with 2 large tablespoons of honey in water. A research on the AST website found that honey is one of the best sugars post WO, as it keeps a steady and high sugar level in the blood, hence better recovery. I add to the mix 500 mg of vit C and 5g of glutamine.
I have a complete meal 1.2 hrs later (1 sweet potato + 1 chicken breast).

I usually throw in 75-100 grams of carbs form dextrose, about 35 grams whey, 5 grams glutamine. then I have a pretty big meal about 45 minutes later.

Whey protein shake or some kind of protein with high GI.

I take Phospagen PH (creatine + dextrose) and also Whey protein ... for vitamins/mineral: calcium, glucosamine, chrondoitin, and MSM ... (especially after 1 hour of cardio) ... sometimes I add Glutamine (when I mow my lawn ... ) ...
Hey Nat,
Do you want a shiatsu massage for post-workout recovery ...

Due to the fact I cannot get dextrose (Paris) I drink
500 ml apple juice
3 tbsp whey (containing L-glutamine - naturally)
I go by 1g of C / kg bodyweight.
I hear dextrose is mad cheap though - like 10$ for a kilo.
Anyone with experience with dextrose, how good/bad does it taste? Does it taste like anything at all?
Thanks
Damn man....can't wait till I start bulking

Currently 3 scoops of Surge by Biotest, have to use up my six week supply. Just before that, I use to use the "psycho formula" from the protein factory with added carbs (dextrose and maltodextrin). When I'm out of both of these, I use any protein powder I can find and mix it with my fruit punch flavored Ultra Fuel. I try to keep my carbs between 75 and 100 post workout, and protein at a minimum of 40 post workout. I also toss in some Vitamin C and creatine in my shakes.
BLOOD DRINKER,
If you are drinking the apple juice in the place of the dextrose (glucose), then you may want to switch to grape juice because it has a higher concentration of glucose/dextrose than that of apple juice. Also, apple juice will have higher levels of fructose, which as you know, will cause a slower digestion rate. I usually drink either Ultra Fuel or Grape Juice in the place of dextrose. Alternatively, you can look at the labels of some brands of Jelly Beans for their dextrose contents. Some brands will have more dextrose than other, and some will have none at all. All will probably have sugar (sucrose) as their primary/first ingredient, but so will most drinks (grape juice). It is still debatable on which sugar is the most optimal (glucose over sucrose) for nutrient transport/absorption. Therefore, even though I strive for as much glucose as possible for my primary sugar for post-workout meals, if sucrose is present, then I do not stress about it.

Will Fructose refill any Muscle glycogen?
Blood dextrose tastes alright, I can't explain how it tastes, but its nothing to be hesitent about. I heard it goes around .80 cents a pound. I bought mine from supplementdirect, but I wonder if theres a cheaper source, I still haven't checked out the brewery?

dextrose is rediculously sweet i tried it but i stopped using it by it's self cause it cause's your body to crash about an hour later. I now grind up rolled oats and put them in my PWO shake with 1 tbsp of dextrose and 50gs of WPI still researching other ideas as well
